Feedback Linearization of RF Power Amplifiers

Springer, 2004

Improving the performance of the power amplifier is the most pressing problem facing designers of modern radio-frequency (RF) transceivers. Linearity and power efficiency of the transmit path are of utmost importance, and the power amplifier has proven to be the bottleneck for both. High linearity enables transmission at the highest data...

Foundations of Computing

Thomson Delmar Learning, 1997

It may sound surprising that in computing, a field which develops so fast that the future often becomes the past without having been the present, there is nothing more stable and worthwhile learning than its foundations.

It may sound less surprising that in a field with such a revolutionary methodological impact on all sciences and...

Functional Programming: Practice and Theory

Addison Wesley, 1990

There is more to functional programming than simply programming in a functional language. As explained in Section 1.1,1 view functional pro gramming as a new programming paradigm, comparable in importance to structured programming. As such, it has value as a discipline of thought even in the absence of functional programming...

Plato and the Divided Self

Cambridge University Press, 2012

Plato's account of the tripartite soul is a memorable feature of dialogues like the Republic, Phaedrus and Timaeus: it is one of his most famous and influential yet least understood theories. It presents human nature as both essentially multiple and diverse - and yet somehow also one - divided into a fully human 'rational' part, a...
